How does the publication ensure editorial independence?
Catherine Roy, Editor-in-Chief, is ultimately responsible for all editorial standards, publication decisions and corrections. No advertiser, sponsor, partner or funding source has any influence over what is published or how stories are covered.
The editorial mission of Kelowna Daily is to deliver trustworthy regional journalism that helps readers understand what matters in their communities without spin or oversimplification. Every article is drafted by a named writer, reviewed by an editor and fact-checked before publication. AI-assisted tools may support research or drafting but never replace human editorial judgement; every piece is approved by a human editor.
